PortMiami is an oceanfront port with only 2.5 miles from buoy to dock which reduces pilot costs and improves turn-around times. With FECR offering backhaul opportunities to increase roundtrip efficiencies, the port offers significant opportunities to save money and time.

Deepening its channel to –50/–52 feet, PortMiami will be the closest U.S. port to the Panama Canal able to berth mega-ships from Asia following completion of the canal’s expansion, expected in April 2016. Featuring on-dock rail service from FECR and direct highway access for trucks, PortMiami will become the first port of call on a new route that increases speed to market and reduces supply chain expense for shippers and ocean carriers alike.
